I’m No Actress

Our little theater sends me emails all year to ask if I would be interested in auditioning for parts in community plays, or to help with lighting, stage sets, etc…
I can’t sing, dance, or act, and would rather see a play than work on one.
Tonight, hubs and I are going out to dinner and seeing, yet again, “Dial M for Murder.” We’ve seen it performed many times before in other venues. It’s a favorite and should be fun.
It’s a first since the pandemic. We will wear our masks, because when we stopped at the box office last month, the director was out with Covid

It's the same here, people have become too relaxed about the dangers of Covid ..... I've heard the argument that goes like this 'I got my vaccination so I'm protected' which I've noticed doesn't actually protect you but it may help reduce the affects of covid if you catch it.

@Tampa_girl7 Thanks, but I probably won't have much to say about it unless something strongly unusual happens there. Tomorrow we are having hurricane windows and doors installed. That should be interesting and noisy!

TWINS again!
Thank you. It's a nice way to spend Friday Datenight, too. We decided to eat in an outdoor restaurant. There are too many people who don't wear masks, have the flu, or whatever for me to feel comfortable around them.
I suppose if I was acting on stage, they wouldn't allow me to wear a mask

Good idea to wear those masks. I always sort of wanted to act, so at age 40, I finally tried it and loved it. I did three or four shows, one a year and always got large parts. It does take a lot of time though, rehearsals, memorizing, sometime nine or more performances. Nowadays, I like to do extras acting for movies/tv shows filmed mostly in Portland. It's usually one day, no lines, and I get to stay over at my daughter's house.

I hope you both enjoy the date night. Just be careful. I'd rather neither of you get sick.

@DianneN You're always welcome.
You never know what "Florida man and Florida woman" might have planned for you.

@DaddyEvil The only people wearing masks in the theater besides me and hubs were the couple sitting right next to us. How about that!?!

I would love to act in a play (I'm a Thespian) or work behind the scenes. That would be so much fun. I hope you enjoyed the play.

I used to get to theaters and plays from time to time, haven't been since the pandemic started.
We always enjoyed the ''Fabulous Fox'' theater in St. Louis, but haven't been in a long time now. I hope you have a lot of fun!

I wear a mask. So does my son.
We are basically trying to keep welll, and take care not to give each other anything at this point. We've come way too far in this journey to go down without a fight. Good for you, wearing a mask and being proactive.

I hope you enjoy the play. I have the video of the movie with Grace Kelly. I enjoyed dancing and singing in the chorus of two musicals my high school put on, In my junior year it was Anything Goes and in my senior year it was Pajama Game,
